So, the big debate...How do YOU say it? It is Pee-can or Pee-con? For me it depends on the context. I know that makes absolutely no sense, but I figure I can put that off on being raised in the land of "might could, might should". For instance. If I want a pecan, I want a Pee-can. BUT if I want a slice of the Butter Pecan Pumpkin Cake, I REALLY want a slice of the Butter Pee-con Pumpkin Cake. Any who, enough of that! On with the recipe =)

Preheat oven to 350 and spray pan with pan spray. Mix all ingredients except the box mix in blender until smooth. Mix wet mix with dry mix until well combined. Pour in pan and bake as directed on box, testing occasionally until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool, serve and Enjoy!

My BFF Lorin posted that she had made Bourbon Chicken. Recipe originally found over at Mom's Who Think. I figured I would half the recipe and have enough for a few lunches and that went well until I started measuring for the sauce. BUT!! It still turned out great, very saucy!

Just the chicken:
4 Servings @ 7 PPV each
5 Servings @ 5 PPV
(if I had made it with 2 lbs of chicken like the original recipe called for, it would have made 8 servings @ 5 PPV or 10 servings @ 4 PPV each)
(as pictured above chicken, rice and broccoli is 9 PPV)

Directions:
Preheat & spray pan over medium heat. Mix all above ingredients EXCEPT the blueberries. Pour in to preheated pan and spread evenly. Drop the blueberries in, spaced as you wish (if they are frozen, you don't have to thaw them, PROMISE!) Cook on each side for about 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Preheat grill to medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with a good coating of the seasoning on both sides. Cook for 10-15 minutes flipping once about half way through, and adding cheese to melt in the last minute or two.

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all ingredients besides cake mix in blender and blend until smooth.
Mix wet mix to dry mix and stir until well combined. Pour into a cake pan that has been sprayed with pan spray. Bake for about 30-35 minutes.

12 servings @ 5 Point+ each
15 servings @4 PPV each
18 servings @ 3 PPV each( same all the way up to 24 servings?)
YUM!

I LOVE Tendabake's 7 Grain Pancake and Waffle Mix. SO I was really stoked when I saw Bilo had it on sale for pretty cheap. I normally will cook with this and not cut it with flour, but since Hubby and Matthew, our nephew, were eating them too, I figured I would let them try the mix this way. Super easy and they turned out great. We all enjoyed them!

Preheat your skillet/griddle to 350. Mix the DRY ingredients together first in a mixing bowl until well incorporated. Stir in the milk, gently. Spray griddle or skillet with pan spray, then pour on to griddle. Should make 2 batches of 6 pancakes each (or 12 pancakes total)

Each Pancake is 2 Points+ (even if you have more than one, the calcs still seem to agree 1=2 2=4 3=6, etc :D ) The mix also says you can use water instead of milk, but I re-figured it that way, and the PPV stay the same!
